1 Brief Introduction

This manual will provide the users who use the Growatt SPH TL3 BH-UP Series of

Shenzhen Growatt New Energy Technology Co.,LTD(Short for Growatt as below) with the

detailed product information and the installation instructions. Please read this manual

carefully and put this manual on some place where is convenient to installation,

operation, obtain. Any modifications of Growatt new energy, we will not notify the user.

Growatt SPH TL3 BH-UP inverter must be installed by professional electrical personnel

who have obtained the certification of the relevant departments. We have two kinds of

energy storage machine for different battery one is for lithium battery and the other is

for lead-acid battery, we suggest: customer should decide which kind of energy storage

machine you want, Growatt can provide only lithium battery with energy storage

machine, customer can choose lead-acid energy storage machine with no battery provide

by Growatt while they can buy these battery from market easily. Especially if customer

choose energy storage system with lithium battery(which must be provide by Growatt)

but used for lead-acid battery or used lead-acid battery for lithium battery model, it will

be dangerous. Installer can install energy storage machine of Growatt SPH TL3 BH-UP

Series rapidly and troubleshooting, build communication system through read this

manual carefully.If you have any questions in the process of installation, you can login in

www.growatt.com and leave some message.Or you can call our 24-hour service

hotline+86 0755 2747 1942.

Growatt SPH TL3 BH-UP Series is used to store energy generated by the photovoltaic cell

panels or energy from grid if it is allowed in the battery, also energy can be sent to power

grid through SPH TL3 BH-UP for self consumption or when Grid power is lost, SPH TL3

BH-UP can be used as backup power.

SPH series has six kinds of type:

ŸSPH 4000TL3 BH-UP

ŸSPH 5000TL3 BH-UP

ŸSPH 6000TL3 BH-UP

ŸSPH 7000TL3 BH-UP

The system chart of SPH:

Chart 2.1

As shown above, a complete grid-connected system of SPH consists of PV modules, SPH

inverter, battery, utility grid and other components.

Attention:

As the system refer to battery use, We must make sure ventilation of the service

environment and temperature control in order to prevent the danger of battery

explosion, Battery recommended installation environment must be strictly in accordance

with the specification，if the specification is IP20 environment, the pollution degree of

the unit is PD2, meanwhile the temperature should be control in the 0-40℃ of indoor

ventilation and the humidity should be 5%-85%. If the chosen PV modules needs to

positive or negative ground connection, please contact with Growatt for technical

support before installation.
